Pixie Recruiting Drive Song

(To the tune of Arthur McBride)

Come all ye brave pixies from all round this landAnd bring a little something that only you canAll round this fair world we are being killed offWhile the planet is taken for ransomIts mined and built over and poisoned and chokedBy corporation bandits in deceptive cloaksWho'll take all they can till there's nothing leftAnd nothing will live here at all

Come warlock and warrior we need you allMany pieces to the puzzle all parts of a wholeSo join in this one because it's better thanDeath culture as life masqueradingAnd all round this one world I do have to sayIs on amber to red alert so don't be afraidPixies come dance to a transmuting tune And we'll all come round again

Come hobgoblins leprecauns this is the frightThe road through Tara heads straight to endless nightGet active all pixies the land needs usBulldozers are ripping it's heart outThere's many mischiefs a pixie can findTo help the situation out of this sad bindAnd under the flag of the gold harp on greenWe'll show everyone how its done

If pixies aren't something you take seriouslyAnd you never talked to the spirit in a treeThen you don't know the first folk to care for this landAnd welcome the sun in the morningThere's no sergeant major no papers to signIts direct it's action our lives are on the lineWhoever you are there is something to doAnd you can be who you are

So this is the pixie's recruiting drive songIt's for desperate dreamers who want to carry on Living in this world or maybe afarBut we wont have a chance without MotherCome folk of the underworld help if you will And take some action to ride out the illWind that is blowing all round this fair globePixies come out to play
